1. Introduction
Ethiopia has embarked on a process of reforming its Technical and Vocational Education and
Training (TVET) System. Within the policies and strategies of the Ethiopian Government,
technology transformation by using current international standards and international best
practices as the basis, and, adopting, adapting and verifying them in the Ethiopian context
is a pivotal element. TVET is given an important role with regard to technology transfer. The
new paradigm in the outcome-based TVET system is the orientation at the current and
anticipated future demand of the economy and the labor market.
The Ethiopian Occupational Standard (EOS) is the core element okf the Ethiopian National
TVET Strategy and an important factor within the context of the National TVET
Qualification Framework (NTQF). They are national Ethiopian standards, which define the
current and future occupational requirements and expected outcome related to a specific
occupation using distinct Unit of Competences without taking TVET delivery into account.
The whole Package EOS document for an occupation is an integrated set of nationally
endorsed core generic Unit of Competences organized in to different qualification levels built
one upon the other below or side wise to make full occupational profile.
This document details the mandatory format, sequencing, wording and layout for the Ethiopia
Occupational Standard which comprised of Units of Competence.
A Unit of Competence describes a distinct work activity. It is documented in a standard

format that comprises:
 Occupational title and NTQF level
 Unit title
 Unit code
 Unit descriptor
 Elements and Performance criteria
 Range and Variables
 Evidence guide
Together all the parts of a Unit of Competence guide the assessor/curriculum developer in
determining the candidate training and assessment.
The ensuing sections of this EOS document comprise a description of the occupation with all
the key components of a Unit of Competence:
 Chart with an overview of all Units of Competence with their Unit Codes and Titles
 Detail contents of each Unit of Competence
 Occupational map providing the TVET providers with information and important
requirements to consider when designing training programs using this standards and
show a career path.
